Justice is very swift in Britain these days. At least for right wingers: Tommy Robinson was arrested Friday and immediately sentenced to 13 months in jail.

Tommy’s crime? Reporting while White. He was livestreaming on Facebook outside of a Leeds court hearing on a gang accused of forcing young girls into the sex trade, euphemistically known in Britain as “grooming.”

Apparently that’s illegal in England - reporting on a crime committed by Muslims that is, not “grooming.”

So this weekend, as we commemorate our fallen patriots who gave their all in the name of freedom, don’t forget to include the fallen heroes from the Revolutionary War, our country’s original war dead. They are the ones who originally imagined a country founded on freedom. Britain continuously reminds us why it was necessary.
